Your employment may require you to enter confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces which are specific types of confined spaces that can present fatal hazards. Examples of confined areas that OSHA may classify as permit spaces include tanks, sewers, storm drains, boilers and HVAC ducts.
This instructor-led course covers OSHA’s confined spaces standard which requires workers to receive adequate training before performing tasks inside confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces. The course presents a general overview of confined space regulations as they relate to entrants, attendants, and supervisors. It covers the proper methods and rules that must be followed before, during, and after confined space entry. Confined space training also addresses the role of initial and atmospheric testing and ongoing monitoring. The entry permit and the permit space safety program; examples of accidents and fatalities in confined spaces; and duties and responsibilities of key confined space personnel are also covered in this training.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
